Background Almonds contain lipid, fiber, and polyphenols and possess physicochemical
properties that affect nutrient bioaccessibility, which are hypothesized to affect gut …

Biocrusts are the living skin of drylands, comprising diverse microbial communities that are
essential to desert ecosystems. Despite there being extensive knowledge on biocrust …

Microbial symbionts can affect host phenotypes and, thereby, ecosystem functioning. The
microbiome is increasingly being recognized as an important player in the tripartite …

Soil microbial diversity has major influences on ecosystem functions and services. However,
due to its complexity and uneven distribution of abundant and rare taxa, quantification of soil …

Abstract The microbiome of Greenland Ice Sheet supraglacial habitats is still
underinvestigated, and as a result there is a lack of representative genomes from these …

The soil microbiome is crucial for regulating biogeochemical processes and can, thus,
strongly influence tree health, especially under stress conditions. However, little is known …

The study of the environmental sorption behavior of typical biodegradable microplastics
(BMPs) during biodegradation is essential given the different characteristics of BMPs and …
